PREFACE TO THE REVISED AND 
ENLARGED EDITION. 



Although there has been no abatement in the unex- 
pected popularity of the first edition of this work, I have 
concluded that the recent tremendous increase of new 
words and the changes that a progressive science has 
brought about demanded its rewriting and enlargement. 
The present volume has been wholly made over, and the 
number of words defined is nearly double that of the 
other volume. It again gives me pleasure to thank 
Dr. W. A. Newman Dorland, of Philadelphia, for his 
scholarly and conscientious help.

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. 



Medical students and physicians often have need 
of a small, elementary word-book that may be slipped 
into the pocket for hurried reference, and to serve as a 
passing reminder of the essential meanings of the more 
commonly-used terms. Such books are too frequently 
made for the benefit of the publisher rather than for that 
of the consultant, and therefore err in a condensation so 
great as to result in vagueness and inaccuracy, and err 
especially in the definition of too few words — and those 
of decidedly antique flavor. The little volume herewith 
offered seeks to avoid these faults, and particularly that 
last mentioned, by containing about double the number 
of words included in the ordinary pocket lexicons, and 
by being made up of the words of the living medical 
literature of the day. The addition of the useful tables 
of muscles, nerves^ arteries, the various microorganisms, 
comparison of thermometric scales, and, above all, of a 
dose-table compiled directly from the latest and best 
works on materia medica, must also prove useful. 

I desire to express sincere thanks to Dr. W. A. New- 
man Dorland, of Philadelphia, for his valuable aid 
throughout the preparation of the volume.

A Handbook of Materia Medica^ Pharmacy, and 
Therapeutics — including the Physiological. Action of 
Drugs, Special Therapeutics of Diseases, Official and Ex- 
temporaneous Pharmacy, etc. By Sam'i, O. L. Potter, 
m.d. , F.E.c.P, (London), Professor of the. Practice of 
Medicine in Cooper Medical College, San Francisco ; late 
A. A. Surgeon, U. S. Army ; Author of ''Speech and its 
Defects" and the " ? Quiz-Compends ? " of Anatomy and 
Materia Medica, etc, Ee vised, Enlarged, and Improved, 
Octavo. With Thumb Index. Cloth, $4.50 ; Leather, $5.50 

A Unique Boqk.— The plan of this work is new and 
original with Dr. Potter, and its contents have been com- 
bined and arranged in such a way that it offers a compact 
statement of the subjects in hand, containing more correct 
information in a practical, concise form than any other 
publication of the kind. This Sixth Edition has been 
carefully revised and brought up to the present standards. 

From the Medical Record, New York. 

" This is an old and valued friehd~ which needs no commendation, 
much less an introduction. It ought to he in the library of every 
physician and student. It is the most convenient arid most eoncise 
work on Therapeutics and Materia Medica in the English language, 
and is at the same time thoroughly reliable. Though necessarily 
largely a compilation, nevertheless there is much that is original, the 
author being one of the most prominent of American Therapeutists. 
The contents embrace the essentials of practical materia medica and 
therapeutics, the amount of pharmacy that every physician should 
possess, one of the best sections on prescription-writing ever written, 
besides a great mass of interesting and valuable material relating to 
the subject of the work. Both diseases and remedies are arranged 
alphabetically, making the book unusually convenient. The section 
on applied therapeutics includes, besides the writer's own views, the 
recommendations of fifty authors. All in all, the book is an exceed- 
ingly useful one." 

From the Therapeutic Gazette: — 

'* In the enumeration of tlrugS suited to different disorders a very 



sulph. ^cessful effort at discrimination has been made, both in the stage 
eseriny Hsease and in the cases peculiarly suited to the remedy. It is

From The New York Medical Record. 

* j V "The work before us is safe, practical, and concise. It is intended 
L ' mainly for advanced students, and does not go into great detail, 
| especially in matters of a controversial nature. Within this scope 
,, aimed at by the author, modern gynecology has once more received 
j adequate treatment at the hands of an author competent to give it." 

• From The Brooklyn Medical Journal. 

" This manual contains the essential facts of gynecology arranged 
3 and presented in a practical and convenient form for the student 
\ and general practitioner. The author has covered a very large field 
! frnd yet has been able to present a book which it is possible to handle 
3, without weariness of arm and brain." 

f From The St. Louis Medical Journal. 

t " Dr. Byford has been long known as a worker in gynecology, but 
I until the present time he has persistently refused to embody his 
5. 'large and varied experience in a manual or work. The present 
jj manual is certainly excellent and, besides this, it is a very complete 
7 J one, which is written more for the purpose of instructing the reader 
|| than of aggrandizing the author. Such works cannot fail being of 
i\ profit when he who writes down his experience has capability such 
J as is evidenced in the book before us." 

From The Pacific Medical Journal. 
"Dr. Byford has succeeded in making an excellent manual. The 
| Xudent and general practitioner will find it a convenient and 
ft readable book for ready reference. "

at Jefferson Medical College. Third Edition, Revise* 
and Enlarged, With Formulae, Three Colored Plates 
and 60 Illustrations, several being in Colors. 580 Pages 
12mo. Cloth, $2.7i 

*** This is an ideal Handbook. Each disease is takei 
up in alphabetical order, the descriptions, diagnosis 
differential diagnosis, and treatment being concisely 
plainly, and systematically stated. A large number 
practical formulae are distributed throughout the text. 

Dr. Ohmann.-Dumesnil, in St. Louis Medical aiid Surgica 
journal, says of this edition: 

u The author gives short but good and clear descriptions of tli 
various diseases which affect the integument, and the treatnien 
recommended is, in the main, very good. His appendix on I>iet is i 
most useful addition, and contains much valuable ads-ice eoneeruin. 
a subject which is, unfortunately, too often overlooked by it 
practitioner who places all his reliance on {Intgs. The longest a 
well Us thjB. best-written article is that devoted' to eczema. It is a 
most valuable contribution, withal of a most practical character I 
And it maybe safely said that a dermatologist who can write well 
on eczema is fully capable of doing justice to every other subjec 
within the domain of cutaneous medicine." * 

From The Medical News. 

"As would naturally be expected from the author, his views art 
sound, his information extensive, and in matters of practical detai" 
the hand of the experienced physician is every where visible."

r rom The American Journal of the Medical Sciences. 

** This well-known book needs scarcely any. comment at our hands. 

' t has been so fully and favorably dwelt upon in The Journal at its 
! ^rmer appearances that but little more can be added now. That it is 
, standard work of American medical literature is not saying too 
j luch for it, also that it is a thoroughly reliable guide for* the 

practitioner if called upon to define his position in the judicial 
orum. 

d|i "To the student of medical jurisprudence and toxicology it is 

gj,j nvaluable, as it is concise, clear, and thorough in every respect. 

* ' 'he absence of cumbersome quotations enhances its value." 

-I'Vom The Cleveland Medical Gazette. 

"No physician ought to practice medicine a day without a work 
1 pon medical jurisprudence in his library, as questions presenting 
1 medico-legal aspect are almost of daily occurrence. . . . Many 
. tudents are unable to secure any of the extended works of five or 
li ix volumes on this subject, but Dr. Reese's work is within the reach 
f all. The matter is condensed and yet contains all the essentials, 
ertaining to the subject." 

I from The Pittsburg Medical Review. 

" The work is valuable not alone to the stuclent of medicine as a 

1 ^xt-book in one branch of his study, but likewise to the practitioner 

>ho may at any time be' called to protect his patient against unjust 

ccusation» or to give his assistance in bringing a criminal to 

ustice." 

i /rom The American Journal of Insanity. 

"We would add, in conclusion, that Dr. Reese's text-book 

• I worthy the great medical school from which it emanates, an' 1 
is conscientious work will surely serve ttf encourage, as 
rould hope, an increasing interest in that most importau 
luch neglected subject, forensic medicine."

to the Children's Hospital and to the Orthopedic lid*

In the production of this book the authors have relied upon vei 
extended experience at the Polyclinic Hospital of Philadelphia an 
in several other institutions in which they are regular and consult- ' 
ing- physicians. They have also availed themselves of the t-t 
libraries and literature, and the newest books to be commanded on j 
this subject, and have secured the assistance of colleagues in speck [ 
departments, many of whom are men of National reputation in the: 
special fields. Further,, the work has been the result of most carefu' 
and thorough labor, investigation, and experiment throughout. I] 

General Hygiene of Infants and Children has received special L 
attention. 

Feeding and Food, justly regarded as one of the most importau 
subjects to be considered in a work of this character, has had nio- 
thorough attention and investigation. Dr. Wells' work in this lin< 
has been extended, and his study of infant foods and milk and it I 
various preparations has been most thorough. In this he wa 
assisted by the Superintendent of the Walker-Gordon Laboratory c 
Philadelphia, to whom full credit is given for much valuable infer , 
mation of those most scientific of milk preparations. 

The aim of the writers has been to make the descriptions suet 
yet entirely clear, and the treatment thorough and practical. AI /I 
subjects which require surgical as well as medical consideration hav j 
been revised and supplemented by Dr. William J. Taylor, Surgeon \\ f 
Fhy St. Agnes' Hospital and Assistant Surgeon to the Ortho] 
^fVv* os pital, etc. Dr. T vis, of the University of Pennsylvania, 'and*

A NEW TEXT-BOOK. 

By James Tyson, m.d., Professor of Clinical Medi- 
cine at the University of Pennsylvania ; Physician to

Half Russia, net, $7.50. 

The object of this book is — first, to aid the student and 
physician to recognize disease, and, second, to point out 
the proper methods of treatment. To this end diagnosis 
and treatment receive special attention, while pa- 
thology and morbid anatomy have such consideration as 
is demanded by their importance as fundamental con- 
ditions of a thorough understanding of disease. 

lorn The Therapeutic Gazette. 

" It is in the writing and preparation of a work of this 
aracter that Dr. Tyson stands pre-eminent. Those of 
3 profession — and there are many at this time — who 
jve been fortunate enough to have been his pupils dur- 
ing their medical student days, will remember that he 
brought to his lectures and to his writings an amount of 
industry and care which many other teachers failed to 
bring ; and those who know him best as an author and 
teacher have expected that his book on the Practice of 
Medicine, when it appeared, would be a credit to himself 
and would increase his reputation as a medical author. 
This belief has proved correct. . . . . We look for- 
ward to using this volume upon the Practice of Medi-
